(marshall crenshaw)      Well I've got a new job in a gray office tower   And I'm stuck here for around another hour   Wearing a dark frown   Watching the second hand go 'round   When I can I'll leave without hesitation   And make my way on to a better destination   Racing the daylight   Back to where I was last night   Going seven miles an hour can't slow down   Seven miles an hour burnin' the ground   Cause I've got a good thing waiting way across town   Seven miles an hour can't slow down   The sidewalk's jammed up   Now I wanna move in a hurry   Have I found an angel?    Well I think she might be   If there ever was one   Can't just walk, I've got to run   Seven miles an hour can't slow down   Seven miles an hour burnin' the ground   Well I gotta good thing waiting way across town   Seven miles an hour can't slow down   Racing the daylight   Back to where I was last night   Seven miles an hour can't slow down   Seven miles an hour burnin' the ground   Cause I got a good thing waiting way across town   Seven miles an hour can't slow down   Seven miles an hour can't slow down   Seven miles an hour can't slow down   Seven miles an hour...
